Corderman & Company

What Corderman & Company does

Corderman & Company, Inc. is a Boston-based, privately held construction management firm founded in 2002 by David M. Corderman, Jr., headquartered at 9 Channel Center Street in the Fort Point neighborhood. The firm provides pre-construction and construction management services for commercial interior buildouts across the Boston and Greater Boston market, serving enterprise and institutional clients in corporate, legal, financial services, banking, academic, healthcare, technology, life sciences, hospitality, and retail sectors. Its core offering comprises three service lines—Pre-Construction Services, Construction Management, and Corderman Carpentry—supported by in-house Labor and Trucking divisions that enable vertical control over project execution, material logistics, and carpentry/labor delivery.

The firm has completed millions of square feet of construction over 20+ years, with marquee repeat engagements including 27 JPMorgan Chase branch buildouts, multi-floor and multi-phase work for Gunderson Dettmer at One Marina Park Drive, and projects within Hines' South Station Tower. Its technology stack is conventional for the industry, relying on project management tools, longstanding trade partner relationships, and accumulated institutional knowledge of Boston's building systems, loading docks, and regulatory requirements; no proprietary software or AI/ML capabilities are evidenced. LEED certifications have been achieved on financial services projects (LEED Gold at JPMC Malden, LEED Silver at JPMC Hudson).

Corderman generates revenue through construction management fees on a project-specific, quote-based pricing model, with additional revenue from the wholly-owned Corderman Carpentry division (established 2015) and ancillary in-house Labor and Trucking services. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise field sales led by the Director of Business Development (Barrie Ferraro), with sourcing driven by repeat clients, referrals, and 20+ years of Boston relationship capital. Corderman has been recognized for 13 consecutive years on Boston Business Journal's Largest General Contractors in Massachusetts list (2014-2025) and 9 consecutive years as an ENR Regional Top Contractor (2017-2025), and has been named a Top Place to Work by both the Boston Business Journal and Boston Globe.
